Still looking for ideas on temps and times for a top sirloin roast, roughly 4 pounds.
Thanks

TheStormyDog,
I hope someone speaks up because I too would like to know how to get one of these cooked that is not dryed out. What I have done is to get the egg up to 500 and sear all sides of one but I then transfered it to a roasting pan and cooked it in the oven until done(the smokey flavor did carry over in the cook.) I suppose you could put the roasting pan on the egg as well if you don't mind getting the pan messy. Most roast recipes call for a sear or browning before putting them in a pan with your juices.

<p />TheStormyDog,[p]I do them like a rump roast, I think they are more tender. I go indirect at 350°-375° and pull off at 135° for medium.[p]~thirdeye~

thirdeye,
Am I right in thinking 30 minutes per pound?

TheStormyDog,[p]That sounds a little long. But I hate the time per pound questions due to all the variables...I'm always off on my guess. I stick them with a cable thermometer and keep an eye on that, adjusting the cooker temp as needed so they will finish when I want.[p]~thirdeye~

TheStormyDog,
It is hard to go wrong, so long as you watch the internal temp and do not it cook too long. Remember that it will go up at least 10 degrees after it is pulled.[p]I do mine indirect at around 375, and I do not sear before I put them on to roast, but there is no reason not to do it if you prefer. In this case, indirect is just inside a foil roasting pan, with a V-rack. I do not use a plate setter. I do not see any reason you could not go direct. [p]Seasoning is a matter of personal preference. Sometimes I feel like S&P plus garlic plus some fresh rosemary (all normally added after a coating of EVOO). Sometimes I like one of the DP rubs.[p]If the roast still has the bones attached, I like to cut the meat off the bone, season on all sides and then tie baco on the bones for the cook.[p]I think it helps to let the meat come to room temp befor starting the cook.[p]Good luck. I am hungry just thinking about it.
